Ferguson dampens transfer speculation

Sir Alex Ferguson has ruled out making any significant purchases during next month's transfer window.

Whilst Manchester United tend to stay out of the mid-winter scramble for new players, it is not entirely unknown for Ferguson to bolster his squad. Henrik Larsson is one player who springs to mind, whilst Nemanja Vidic and Patrice Evra both arrived in January.

However, despite fresh rumours linking the Red Devils with Everton full-back Leighton Baines, Ferguson told United Review: "Don't hold your breath waiting for Manchester United to jump through the transfer window when it opens next week."
